How to Get Free RV Parking

Travel in a recreational vehicle (RV) can get costly, what with the price of fuel, vehicle maintenance, tolls, parking and supplies. There are ways, however, to make the trip more economical, particularly when faced with an unplanned stop. With just a little research, a smart and thrifty RV traveler can find ways to save. The easiest way is to prepare a list of free RV parking locations. Free RV campgrounds, or boondocking sites, exist in every state across the U.S.
